  2. Analog computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer

    TR-10 desktop analog computer of the late 1960s and early 1970s. An analog computer or analogue computer is a type of computation machine (computer) that uses the continuous variation aspect of physical phenomena such as electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic quantities ( analog signals) to model the problem being solved.

  3. Prostaglandin analogue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostaglandin_analogue

    Prostaglandin analogues such as misoprostol are used in treatment of duodenal and gastric ulcers. [2] Misoprostol and other prostaglandin analogues protect the lining of the gastrointestinal tract from harmful stomach acid and are especially indicated for the elderly on continuous doses of NSAIDs . In the field of ophthalmology, drugs of this ...

  4. Analogue electronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogue_electronics

    Analogue electronics ( American English: analog electronics) are electronic systems with a continuously variable signal, in contrast to digital electronics where signals usually take only two levels. The term analogue describes the proportional relationship between a signal and a voltage or current that represents the signal.

  5. Analogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogy

    Analogy is a comparison or correspondence between two things (or two groups of things) because of a third element that they are considered to share.. In logic, it is an inference or an argument from one particular to another particular, as opposed to deduction, induction, and abduction.

  6. Very-large-scale integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very-large-scale_integration

    Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining millions or billions of MOS transistors onto a single chip. VLSI began in the 1970s when MOS integrated circuit (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) chips were developed and then widely adopted, enabling complex semiconductor and telecommunication technologies.

  7. Data acquisition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_acquisition

    Data acquisition. Data acquisition is the process of sampling signals that measure real-world physical conditions and converting the resulting samples into digital numeric values that can be manipulated by a computer. Data acquisition systems, abbreviated by the acronyms DAS, DAQ, or DAU, typically convert analog waveforms into digital values ...

  8. Digital audio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_audio

    Digital audio is a representation of sound recorded in, or converted into, digital form. In digital audio, the sound wave of the audio signal is typically encoded as numerical samples in a continuous sequence. For example, in CD audio, samples are taken 44,100 times per second, each with 16-bit sample depth. Digital audio is also the name for ...

  9. Analog stick - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_stick

    An analog stick ( analogue stick in British English), also known as control stick, joystick or thumbstick, is an input device for a controller (often a game controller) that is used for two-dimensional input. An analog stick is a variation of a joystick, consisting of a protrusion from the controller; input is based on the position of this ...
